Reading the information conveyed in the pulse is a key element of Tibetan Medicine. The pulse is used to diagnose both the individual character of the patient as well as the specific pathology. The characteristics of the pulse are affected by the transport, degradation and building processes of the three bioenergetic substances, or humors. Through this palpation, the doctor can determine the nature of the disease, whether it is painful, whether swelling has occurred and if the swelling is hard, soft, big or small, and can also predict the course of the illness.* Instructor: Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche.

China Trip: Journey into Daoism. This special trip will be open to anyone who is interested. This Journey is not a typical tour. As the name implies it is a journey not only to China but into yourself. This will be a journey of self discovery, insight, and study. I am going to once again lead a journey to China open to all (no previous Daoist or Qigong training required). This Journey will introduce Daoism, its sacred practices, and the Chinese culture. Join us as we delve into this realm of mystery, mysticism, and alchemy.

The Building Blocks of Chi Supplementation. Learn and practice proper and optimal applications of vitamin, mineral and Western and Chinese herbal supplements to complement our personal chi care and fortify our physical and energetic health, longevity and stamina. We refine our personal use of nutritional supplementation throughout these workshops. Beyond addressing Chi Supplementation for proper health maintenance, we also visit protocols that effectively advance the prompt and balanced healing of core imbalances in cellular and systemic functions (among them, inflammation, autoimmune response and endocrine system imbalances), often result in disabling physical ailments and life-threatening situations, to restore and improve functional capacity. To ascertain the appropriate supplements in certain of these circumstances, it is necessary that we also seek to understand specific aspects of blood chemistry. Why do we wait almost 2 months between classes? Depending on your physical and chi constitution at the time, it can take anywhere between 3-6 weeks to modify the dosage and ingestion schedule so that it harmonizes well into your constitution while improving your health. We allow for this time between our classes for these adjustments and during this time, you are most welcome to consult with Debra to find the appropriate modification. Students who enroll in this workshop series should first complete Beginning the Qigong Lifestyle.
